Halloween Puppies!!! [CLOSED]

OOC Name:Jackal
Litter Choice: Medusa x Ignis (I will be applying w/ a separate pup for the Ignis x Mystery litter)
Character name: Rawhide
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Design/Appearance: I supplied my own design.

Rawhide's name comes, suitably enough, from the patchwork of their coat. The wolf appears to have developed chimerism-- their coat is distinctly two-toned, each complete with its own markings. Their coat will remain Medusa's scraggly texture. Their eyes are blue and yellow; their coat bears false-skeleton markings on both of its divisions. Rawhide is a striking individual to behold, though this striking nature may be a detriment to some degree. They are colorful in a somewhat morbid way; the coloration of part of their coat resembles in some ways a hunk of meat. They're not a particularly attractive wolf, despite their size.

Mutations/disabilities: Rawhide will have paranoid schizophrenia. This will manifest as she reaches adulthood/late teens. Through her youth, it will be undetected.

Personality: Rawhide is a withdrawn individual much of the time, even before her disorder manifests itself. She's guarded amidst the chaos of her upbringing. Medusa cares for the children, but Rawhide has observed the unpredictability of those around her, and it has left her rather measured in how she deals with other wolves. Her guarded nature only applies to the truth of her -- the core of her. To most wolves, Rawhide is personable. She's not the most overtly social creature around, but she won't turn company away. They just won't get to know her.

Opportunism marks her. Rawhide isn't the sort to miss a chance when it comes. She's sharp-witted, and always keeps an eye out for chances to get what she wants, what she needs. She'll steal, if she thinks she can get away with it. As she ages, she'll be a vocal advocate for raiding other groups... in particular, those that have raided Insomnia in the past, as she wants to take vengeance on them for taking from her family, her people.

She's a woman of the people in a very viscerally strange way.

Her pack is important to her. Its enemies are her enemies-- and those who are affiliated with those enemies will find that she would not rescue them if they drowned. Rawhide feels no conflict about this, either: to her, it is just, to watch the suffering of those who would hurt her or her family. She's not evil, really, but she isn't going to rescue someone she doesn't like. Likewise, Rawhide is capable of acting as a diplomat to places that are on good terms with Insomnia-- she'll even be decently suited to the job, all things considered.

Rawhide will like to kill. This, perhaps, is her most unfortunate trait, though it will be limited to predators and prey. She'll like to feel the crack of bones between her teeth.

She will also have a penchant for collecting morbid curiosities. Dead bodies that she can strip of their flesh, things that have half-crawled out of the tar pits, whatever she can get her claws on. The time she seems to blossom the most is when she finds herself in command of one of these objects, at which point she blooms, and will talk to anyone who will listen about her trophy.

Skills: Intellect & Hunting
Potential plots?: A childhood friend or acquaintance joins an enemy pack, forcing Rawhide to choose between friend and family. One of her siblings gets hurt, and Rawhide is explosive upon finding out, demanding the blood of the one who hurt them. Rawhide, finding out about Medusa's enslaved past, is probably going to go on a big ole ranting tear about how much she hates all of those wolves.

I would also be looking for a romance plot with her that starts young. As she ages up, her symptoms will emerge, and the other woman will help her with her paranoia.
